101 Ranch Cowboy, Artist Frank S. Giles, 84, Dies Frank S. Giles, former 101 Ranch cowboy, oilman and sketch artist, died in Tulsa Sunday at the age of 84. As a boy he had resided on the 101, where he came to know a number of celebrities including Buffalo Bill Cody, Tom Mix, Will Rogers, and Geronimo, the Indian Chief. A native of Metuchen, N.J., Giles lived in New York prior to moving west. The family moved west after his father, Giles Sr. read an article in National Geographic on the famous 101 Ranch. Giles spent part of his youth on the 101 Ranch and continued to be interested in the ranch memorabilia after moving to Tulsa. He was active in the 101 Ranch Old Timers organization and made a number of contributions to the Pioneer Woman Museum. These include the trousseau dress of Miss Lizzie Trosper, who married Joe Miller of the Miller Brothers in 1893, according to his niece, Mrs. Leland Lear, 406 S. 12th. Mrs. Lear said another contribution was a stamp scrapbook that included a stamp of the Pioneer Woman Statue issued by the Mexican government. Giles retired in 1959 from Pure Oil Co, after over 40 years in the oil business. The family moved to Tulsa in 1914 and four years later Giles joined Pure. Following his retirement, Giles who had a sketch in the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York when he was six, began sketching again. Giles drew a postage stamp about the west and did a number of other drawings that are in museums. Survivors include his wife Martha of the home, Tulsa, a daughter Mrs. Robert H. (Mildred) Price, Tulsa and a son Charles S. Giles of Tulsa; a niece, Mrs. Lear; four grandchildren and four great grand children. Giles was preceded in death by his sister Mrs. Julia Robbins, who had resided here. She died in April 1978 at the age of 83. Ponca City News, Monday January 15, 1979
